A top National Park Service official has instructed park superintendents to limit the number of staff who get top marks in performance reviews, a move that experts say violates federal code and could make it easier to lay off staff.

The pockets of resistance were on display at both the state and federal levels this week.
Most glaring, a narrow majority of Republican state senators in Indiana voted Thursday to reject President Trump’s pressure to redraw their congressional map.

They know they are about to be put to pasture. A dictator doesn't need a Congress.
For most of this year, Republican members of the House of Representatives seemed to move in lockstep with President Donald Trump, not hesitating to back him on controversial measures on immigration and the economy.
